I understand that. My priority was to get my partners PC working reliably and the band-aid did that. It looks like a timing issue during startup to me. 15-20 years ago I would have dived into source code to try and sort the problem myself but I have other priorities now. I agree with your comme

Regards Jim, My problem with that is, is that it's putting a band-aid on the problem, not fixing the source of it. And my boxen is not a laptop, it's a higher end desktop. It has been a complaint for sometime now, that the various flavors of Ubuntu, all seem to assume everyone is running it on a

A year or so ago I had the same or very similar symptoms. From memory I resolved it by setting the boot parameter i8042.reset(=true?) That resets the i8042 keyboard controller subsystem at boot time. You can set it in /boot/grub/menu.lst. I can't check further specifics now as the laptop suffer

Fabio, In answer to your question on KB and Mouse, On my machine it is still an ongoing problem, even with the latest releases. I use a Logitech cordless KB and Mouse, the installation system incorrectly assumes this is a "Bluetooth" device and not a USB HID device. This causes the driver to loc

Thanks - I'll look at that but as noted I have added i8042.reset to the boot parameters and it is now working fine. The problem appears to be kernel initialisation/timing related. The wireless Logitech mouse and wired keyboard have always been fine and haven't stopped anything from working. The

I did a bit of a search for i8042 boot options and tried setting i8042.reset and it appears to have made a difference. Will add it to menu.lst and see if it is consistent. Jim Torsten Spindler wrote: > Try booting with i8042.noacpi=1 appended to the kernel bootparameter > list. > -- keyboard/
